VIDEOWALL PROCESSORS Quantum A Videowall processing for mid-sized videowalls with up to 14 displays Connect A Card frame videowall processing system available with eight slots HDCP-COMPLIANT VIDEOWALL A Supports 3G-SDI, HDMI, DVI, RGB analog, HD component, and PROCESSING SYSTEM standard video input signals A HDMI, DVI, and RGB analog output options support any display types High Performance Multi-Graphic A HDCP-compliant Processing for Videowall Systems input/output options Introduction The Extron Quantum® Connect is a videowall processor that The Quantum Connect is packaged into permanent configurations supports a wide variety of input, output, and windowing capabilities when shipped from the factory. Applications requiring greater in a small form factor. It features high performance video scaling scalability and the flexibility to expand over time should use the technology capable of producing very high quality images. The Quantum Elite processor. Quantum Connect is a card-cage design that can be populated at Quantum Connect is ideal for lobby displays, digital signage, or the factory with various combinations of input and output cards for other small to medium-sized videowalls. 3G-SDI, HDMI, DVI, RGB, HDTV, or video sources. The unit is not field-expandable. Each HDMI or DVI-I dual output card supports up Quantum Elite for Larger Systems to 128 video/graphic source windows. The Quantum Connect maintains optimal full frame rate performance with a high-speed, 10 Gbps RAPT - Real-Time Asymmetric Packetized Transfer video/graphic bus that allows large numbers of inputs to be processed simultaneously, while preserving real-time control response and image performance. Quantum Elite 615 When used with HDCP-compatible displays, the HDMI input and The Quantum Connect is part of the Extron Quantum family of output cards allow the display of HDCP-encrypted content on the videowall processing systems, which includes the Quantum Elite. videowall. A green window with an alert message will be displayed if The Quantum Elite is designed for medium to large videowalls and HDCP-encrypted content is sent to a non-HDCP compliant display. adds the flexibility to accommodate future expansion for additional inputs or larger videowalls. The Quantum Elite also supports A variety of display scenarios can be pre-programmed or created hundreds of additional DVI or RGB sources streamed over an on-the-fly using Quantum Connect Control Software, an intuitive IP network using Extron QGE 100 Quantum Graphics Encoders. control interface for setup and system operation. Many sources It is available in 4U and 6U card frames that can be configured can be shown at small sizes, a few at large sizes, or many other with input and output cards at the factory and in the field. For very combinations. All of this is complemented by high performance large videowall systems, card frames can be cascaded together. image scaling technology, which accurately preserves the original image quality at all window sizes.
